I'm hollering!

Ah, catcalls. Some of you have been sharing your worst catcall stories. I'd like to chime in and say that I agree with Ryan in that it's totally about power and intimidation. I'm always listening to my iPod whenever walking around NYC, especially on my block where this crew gets together every day on the corner and harasses females who pass by. I have learned to filter it all out--the good and the bad, because even if it's a compliment, I don't want it from guys like that. What I love is when someone checks you out discreetly and tastefully. No words. Just a subtle look at the coffee shop, grocery store, even the gym.
